[Q] xda-developers forum extremely slow on transfo

Has anyone else noticed how xtremely slow this forum is on the transformer? Navigating the pages and even typing this out is very frustrating. I thought it was flash but I uninstalled it and it is still very bad. Any help or info is appreciated. The default keyboard helps a little bit, but typing is very laggy as well.

I'm not experiencing this via the browser. Also, you may want to buy Tapatalk

So far this website really seems to be the only one I have problems with using the stock browser, or even some of the other browsers.
I did find that Opera Mobile seems to work very well with XDA though.

I'm having the EXACT same problem and only with XDA Dev's site. I got so frustrated that I wiped my Transformer thinking it might have been an issue with the ROM. Still same issue. Really don't want to use Tapatalk on a damn tablet but what can I do... At least I know I'm not alone.
Also, I did update Flas to 10.2 not sure it is related.

Yeah the app is so slow. I think its the app tho, whats tapatalk

Surfing this site on TF101 browser is slow for me also. Tapatalk is much faster though.

It IS really rotten using the default browser. Firefox is a bit better. The worst part is getting that ">" new postings link large enough to click on it. In Firefox, there is an additional new postings link that is still hard to click but larger. Hopefully as tablets become more common, sites will make some accommodation.

This forum always gives people issues..
But it has a relatively easy fix.
Scroll all the way to the bottom right and then change XDA 2010 to XDA classic. All your problems should vanish!

I'm having the same issue on my Acer a500. I was getting ready to return it and wait for a transformer. I guess its just xda developers site. Thanks.

May changing the forum style to the xda classic helps?

Classic colors are hard to take?
Strange this site works fine on the iPad it seems rather basic?

It appears to be the Flash ads that are driving it crazy, so no problem with those on the iPad heh. The TF tries to render all of them, and although they do work they are very slow.

You would think that without flash installed, it wouldn't try to render them, but it appears to get stuck on them for some reason. It doesn't make a difference with or without flash, still unbearably slow. Can we pay $5 a month to get the flash ads turned off? LOL...

I love this site & I would pay to get rid of all ads to make my browsing faster on my TF101. I'll have to try the classic mode which was mentioned in a few post earlier when I get home from work.

The xoom had the same issue and switching to classic worked for a while until they updated the xda premium app. Not sure if the xda premium app will work for the tf but I would try that.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Not sure it's the Flash ads. I have the browser set to only load Flash on demand, so the Flash ads are not shown. And it it's still extremely laggy.
I just tried switching to "XDA Classic", that fixed it. Ugly as hell, but it works now.

XDA app?

Xda app keeps closing whenever you hit back while trying to navigate within forum or threads.
Anyone experience this on new Gal tab2 10.1?

No problems with Tapatalk...

For me... the xda app chews around 40-60% of processor capacity before it freezes out. Tried reinstalling but the problem persists.
Tapatalk seems to be working okay.

I think we are dealing with an ics issue here, I think the xda app devs fell asleep at the wheel and didn't do there ics homework! Maybe they don't know what ics stands for, it ain't "I crave salami".

I believe that the XDA App is just a custom Tapatalk App. However, it would receive updates outside of the main Tapatalk App, so it's possible that it hasn't received the updates and bug fixes that the main app has yet. Maybe one of the Mods/Admins can try and get the issue resolved.

Thanks for your input, imnuts . Hope I find a solution soon, running one free app, and two paid apps and still can't use any of them without it becoming a pain in the ass, and draining the juice out of the battery.

As someone else has mentioned, Tapatalk works perfectly -- which it does.

Try emailing them about the issue(s) you're having. The contact email from the Play Store is [email protected] I also saw that there was an XDA Premium HD app that is supposedly meant for tablets. Hopefully that isn't what is required as it doesn't look like there is a free version of the tablet app.

Tried running free xda app, also xda HD, still no good. I guess I can spend another 3.00 bucks and experiment for the dev dept. With tapatalk. And that's no guaranty that its going to work.

Paid xda app has never fc'd on this tab in the last 3 weeks for me. Running stock deodexed Rom.
good day.

Chopper the Dog, Does that mean you are rooted at present ? Not sure if you can deodex without rooting.
(I don't think so)
Thanks for your input.

### issue resolved ###
Issue was caused by setting in "developer option" - "do not keep activities" this needs to be un checked , not sure what this setting is for, but it can be a pain if checked.

Front Camera not working

I have the wifi edition Xoom mz604 and have changed to the US rom from Motorola's site. The flashing went fine and I received all the OTA updates so I have Android 4.0.4 now, but my front camera does not work. If I go to take a picture it is a green screen with lines moving throughout it, the rear camera works fine but that does me no good for Skype.
Has anyone ever had this problem? Anything I could try to fix it? All help/suggestions would be appreciated.
I have tried every camera app on the market with the same results also
Thank You

Got the same problem here since long time ago, seems like a hardware problem, maybe if you have the guaratee available you can ask to raplace the damage part. In my case im from MX and my tables was bought in US so no way to have guarantee here, just buy an OEM front facing camera from Ebay and hope somebody can send me the camera to replace.

As much as it sucks, if you want to eliminate the possibilities, you're gonna have to flash another rom and see if it happens.

Hmmm well guess I will start by going back to stock and re-locking it as it will need to be like that for warranty anyways. The tablet is 2 weeks old so I got lots of warranty on it still lol.
Thanks all

Thanks, and sorry for my bad english

Sounds like a bug with the ROM. Have you tried installing a earlier version of Cyanogenmod, CM7 for example, and seeing if the issue persists?

No I haven't
CM9 is my first custom rom I try
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium

Then I would recommend trying CM7. If the issues disappear, then you know it's an problem with CM9. If they don't then you know it's an problem with your phone. Either way, you'll be in a better situation than you are currently.
I tried CM7 briefly and didn't have the issues you mentioned. Give it a try.

For the phones that maclaw develops for, cm7 is much more stable...
And he has started dev-ing for cm10 (which is better, compared to cm9), why bother with reports for cm9 then...

Well, even I follow that thread, and I do remember seeing a similar solution/problem in the thread itself...
Have you used the search function in the thread?

Yes I already using search function
And the solution is install GoSMS and using custom SMSC
I did and it still not working
While on the other phone my sim would send sms without any problem

Restore Apps

My daughter broke her Nexus 7 tablet and its not functioning and she has installed lots of games on it. Today I got her a Galaxy Tab2, I signed in with her google account but it will not install what she had on the Nexus 7. Is there a way to do that or I need to have her install it manually?

I am pretty sure if it didnt automatically download anything it will have to be downloaded manually. Did you click restore from google account when setting up the tablet?

She probably dropped it on the concrete floor at the driveway or something. Anyways, fixing that cracked screen is expensive. So I bought her a slightly used Tab 2 instead. At least I can put in additional 32gig storage for her to save her stuffs which the Nexus 7 can''t

Sorry about that, looks like you are gonna have to manually redownload the apps i don't think there is another way to automatically download them all back unfortunately.
